[captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] ? sharyl: welcome to "full measure." i'm sharyl attkisson. it is the sunday after thanksgiving. in case you're tired of turkey, we have a helping of shrimp and a few questions. you may not think much about how the seafood gets to your plate. but the question of who's catching it and where is at the center of a global controversy. to understand why, we head south to the louisiana bayou. it's where an industry that survived hurricane katrina and the bp oil spill is finding itself threatened with extinction by foreign

these fishermen could be shrimpers lost, and theirs could be a lesson for us all. today, we're going shrimping in venice, louisiana. acy cooper is our guide. how important is the shrimping business to your personally? acy cooper: it's everything to me. you know, my family does it. my dad's 80 years old, he still fishes. and my two boys has entered the business and my daughter, she married a fisherman. sharyl: louisiana's shrimp affair for more than a century. >> while the men condition the flow -- boats, the womenfolk do their knitting. down where louisiana is neither land nor sea, the bayou dwellers home becomes the base of annual operations that keep mom, pop and the kids busy as the dickens. sharyl: venice is one of the south's shrimping capitals. cooper's sons make four generations of fishermen. who's that coming up here? acy cooper: that's my son, my

sharyl: after dragging our nets in the gulf of mexico, we brought up an assortment of sea creatures, mostly shrimp. you'd think there'd be automatic job security today in the family business, considering america's appetite for shrimp. we each eat an average of four pounds per year. shrimp is now more popular than tuna fish. were there good times in the last 20 years? acy cooper: there was, there was good times. at the beginning, before they started coming in, look, we were making a living, we didn't, we had to work hard, because we had tous every day. we fight the elements. you know, we work hard to make a living. but we did good. my dad did good, he taught me well. we did good. now, my sons and all, they starting to struggle now, because of what's going on. sharyl: he's talking about foreign shrimp flooding the market from places china, indonesia, vietnam, and thailand. the u.s. has become a massive importer of a resource we have right here at home. about 94% of the shrimp we eat comes from abroad, selling for a fraction of the price of the

there's no getting around it. the u.s. shrimping industry is dying. acy cooper: there's no way we can survive this this the way it's going. you know we can't keep up our boats. we can't keep deckhands because nobody wants to work, because they're not making any money. we can't make it where the price is at now. sharyl: take the haul from this boat, the ba ken. after 12 days out, it returned with more than a ton and a half of shrimp. but after paying for fuel, ice, and four deck hands, the owner will clear just $166 for each day at sea. hardly enough to keep the boat running, let alone help pay the bills in the off-season. robert nguyen and his son face the same harsh reality. nguyen came to the u.s. as a refugee from vietnam and ended up in louisiana in 1985. he became so prosperous as a shrimper that by the mid 1990's, he owned his own dock, a big

a few miles from the dock, he shows pictures of how his family weathered hurricane katrina. cheap imports flooding the market are today's threat. as shrimp prices have fallen, nguyen has sold his dock, downsized his boat, and now relies on his son to be his deckhand. robert nguyen: shrimp, it not like before. every year, it's going down. going down. sharyl: foreign competition could mean the death of a lot of family businesses. why does foreign shrimp cost so much less? other countries may use cheaper methods banned in the u.s. in thailand, some seafood farmers recently got caught using slave labor. videos posted on the internet methods banned in the u.s. appear to show images of foreign workers injecting gelatin into shrimp to make it plumper. acy cooper: our government doesn't allow us to put anything in it, but yet they can test, and they only test about 1% that comes into this country. sharyl: he's right. the fda is responsible for the

year. in october, the fda issued an import alert warning about shrimp from china, saying its use of unapproved antibiotics or chemicals raises significant public health concerns. beyond the health concerns, cooper says it's hard not to think of shrimping as another american industry that could be lost to foreign competition. do you see this as a reflection of anything else going on in the country? acy cooper: you have farmers generation. the steel workers. we gonna be the same way, just like these guys. sharyl: he thinks the only thing that can save the shrimpers is for our government to step in and limit imports. acy cooper: pull it back, put a cap on it. we know we're gonna have to have imports in this country. you know, you're not gonna stop it. and we don't expect them to stop it. but we do expect them to hold it back enough to where we can make a living. sharyl: our trip was just a few hours.

15-hour-plus days during the season. cooper says he'll be lucky to get 60 cents a pound for the small, brown shrimp we caught. how much is this worth? acy cooper: probably about $120 dollars for 200 pounds. it's not much. we work hard for our way of life, it's a way of life. it's not something that we just pop up and said that we gonna do. it's been something that's been going generation, after generation, after generation. we just want listen to us a little bit and help us out here. don't put us to the brink of where we're broke and out of business. and that's where we're at at this point in time. we on the verge of out of business. sharyl: one potential win for american shrimpers could be the election of donald trump. he has promised to kill the trans pacific partnership, a trade deal that some claim could open the doors to unsafe foreign shrimp. coming up next, the u.s. military is ramping up the use of special forces in our war against terror. we went to find out what's behind the making of a green

sharyl: the months-long battle to retake the iraqi city of mosul from isis fighters has become the long, hard fight many predicted. u.s. special operations forces are acting as spotters for targeted airstrikes. special ops are often the tip of the spear in u.s. military operations and are now in greater demand than even before. what does it take to be the best of the best? scott thuman travelled to an imaginary war zone to observe a real exercise in the making of a

scott: six times a year, the serene central piedmont of north carolina becomes a battleground. [gunfire] stretching across 19 counties and 10,000 square miles. the men who survive this final exercise will join the elite ranks of the army's green berets. the drill is called "robin sage." and we were granted rare access to o the brink of becoming special forces. >> you wanna go? yep, let's go. lt. colonel seth wheeler: there is no tougher scenario in the military than to go through robin sage. scott: lieutenant colonel eric wheeler is an instructor at robin sage. he's been a green beret for 13 years and served 6 deployments in iraq. so, for someone who's never been versed on what a green beret is, or what robin sage means, they might make some gross assumption

doors. you would say. lt. wheeler: green berets are special forces soldiers of character who are comfortable operating in ambiguous, decentralized, and hostile environments. >> don't shoot, don't shoot. scott: i think it's interesting that green berets are much more than just muscle. lt. wheeler: they are much more than muscle. so, it's combination of knowing when to smile, when to negotiate, and when to pull the trigger. scott: all skills honed for the last 60 years in a new "country" west of i-95 and south of virginia. lt. wheeler: all of our training for robin sage is actually through a fictitious land called pineland, of course. scott: and this is pineland. lt. wheeler: this is pineland. scott: we are in a guerrilla base camp in pineland, where these green beret trainees, whose faces we cannot show, are helping the locals mount a resistance to the "united province of atlantica," which has overrun pineland. >> we plan and we go through what it takes, the steps to get these fighters ready. scott: training a local militia to stand up to an unwanted occupier is the green berets'

this training goes from a fictional land to action in the real world, with real names, like syria, iraq, and afghanistan. kenny tyndall is one of dozens of volunteers who lends his farmland. kenny tyndall: when you go rushing into a building and it's a baited ambush, it's a no-win situation sometimes for them, but sometimes we hope it teaches them about certain things, and also about trust and building rapport. scott: what you teach them here, does that make a life changing moment for them when they're -- difference when they are downline? kenny tyndall: we hope it does, we certainly hope it does, because if it doesn't, they are going to get killed. >> you've got two over here, let's get these pictures. kenny tyndall: the training of the green beret is to train other countries to put their soldiers in line. scott: the goal of this day's exercise against an overwhelming force of volunteers posing as enemy combatants is for them to realize they are in over their heads and to retreat, which they

the army special forces became known as "green berets" in 1961, when president john kennedy toured fort bragg, watched their tactics, and, noting their headgear, sent their commander a letter stating, "the challenge of this new form of operations is a real one. i am sure that the green beret will be a mark of distinction in the trying times ahead." kennedy sent 400 green berets to vietnam to train the south vietnamese soldiers in the fight against the communist-backed viet cong guerrillas. since vietnam, the green berets have specialized in counter-insurgency and guerrilla warfare. if conventional warfare looks like the shock and awe of operation iraqi freedom, then it's the unconventional warfare that the green berets do best. they were one of the lead responders in afghanistan. months before troops and tanks arrived, the green berets were organizing and training the tribal leaders -- fighting like natives alongside the northern alliance. >> down here along our southern border. scott: back in pineland, the united states army has amassed a conventional force along the

led by major general james linder, the forces are updated by the trainees about how their covert support of the local resistance is going. >> we got to hang in there, hold out for the help, help's coming. major general james linder: we're selecting soldiers who are going to go out in small teams and in environments where there are no absolute answers. and they're all going to be, they're going to be independent, and they're going to have to figure out how to problem solve on their own. scott: problems like a helicopter tha bombed their base camp. >> so give me two cases that are ready to go. scott: or an enemy that has inflicted mass civilian casualties. >> one, two, three. hey, i got a strong radio pulse. scott: and that's the real world, too, though right? major gen. linder: that's the real world. that's much of what we see today under the areas we're operating, executing the army's task of special warfare is what we see these soldiers doing. scott: why is what's happening here in these woods so important to the future of how the u.s. military handles all the challenges we face?

experiences that you learn in robin sage build upon a rolodex of experiences that kind of roll around in the back of your head. robin sage is all about a series of dilemmas that is posed upon the student, where there might not be right or wrong answers and just consequences to the decisions. scott: there are plenty of real world consequences. on august 23rd, staff sgt. matthew thompson, a green beret serving in afghanistan was killed by a roadside bomb, a lossha oquendo, a fellow green beret, says is immeasurable. roberto oquendo: it hurts, you know, and, and even if you don't know the person personally, it's another sf brother that paid the ultimate sacrifice. scott: thompson graduated from concordia university irvine in 2010, his classmates honored him in this flag lowering ceremony. roberto oquendo: it could happen to any of us. so, we understand that when we

happen, it really hurts. [gunfire] scott: for their final test, the team we observed captured their target in a nighttime raid. they passed robin sage and many of these new green berets will be deployed overseas within the year. of the 118 soldiers who started robin sage during our visit, 101 finished and earned the green beret. sharyl: imagine they go through rigorous training, but when you are watching this, what about a did you not expect or what surprised you? scott: it is fascinating how entire communities or towns take part in shaping the soldiers and making green berets. they donate time, land, some of them are role-playing, they come together multiple times a year, it is a collaborative effort between civilians and the military to make a green beret. sharyl: i guess some of them may be think it is a patriotic thing

scott: they take great pride in doing this year after year all throughout the area. sharyl: thanks, scott. next on "full measure." police body cams are the new reality tv bringing real crime stories and police action into the public eye.

sharyl: police body cameras are producing key evidence in trials involving police shootings. earlier this month, video was key in the trial of a cincinnati police officer who shot a motorist at a traffic stop. that ended in a jury deadlock. joce sterman found as other cities rush to equip police with cameras, one issue has gone out of focus, the privacy of crime victims. [gunshots] joce: police body cams are becoming a new -- and sometimes disturbing -- reality tv. >> i'm shot. joce: with his body camera rolling, this florida officer pulled an injured mother from the scene of a domestic shooting. then he stepped even closer to coax her young children out of the house. >> come here, sweetheart, come

joce: to many, what the officer did appeared heroic. his department thought so and made it public. victims' advocates say that's a privacy violation of the highest order. there's no question to you, videos like this cross the line? jennifer storm: totally. in my opinion, absolutely. joce: jennifer storm is a victims' advocate who has helped shape state and federal laws for crime victims. this video, posted online by police and shared, has now been viewed millions of times. the family was not asked for consent. storm and other advocates believe it's a classic example of a forgotten issue in the great body camera debate. jennifer: a body camera is going to get every single thing the officer sees. you're going to see it. joce: you're there? jennifer: it's like reality tv and not in a good way. it's bad reality tv, incredibly traumatizing for these families and survivors. joce: what the lens captures can be a complex issue of privacy.

transparency. in cases of murder, sexual assault, and domestic violence, pictures can bring the accountability that many demand, but there's a price. jennifer: all of a sudden your loved one's death becomes a hashtag. and it becomes seen by millions of people and forwarded and retweeted and facebooked. joce: that's what happened in a pennsylvania case where video of a deadly encounter with a suspect went viral -- the man's last moments now online haunt his family. is balancing how to get the advantages of these cameras without turning it into a privacy meltdown. joce: jay stanley is with the american civil liberties union , which has a split take on body cams. while they take a "dim view" of surveillance cameras, they do support police cameras as a "check against the abuse of power." if there's a question of police abuse, the aclu supports releasing the tape -- even against the wishes of a victim

jay: when those two values come into direct conflict, you have to make very tough calls. we think, in those situations, the default should be that they should be made public because of the overwhelming public interest in doing that oversight and it can't be vetoed by the family or the victims themselves. joce: the debate is complicated by the fact that police are the ones who usually have veto power. but a study on body camera use funded by the justice departme found something stunning -- many departments don't have specific written policies for how they should be used and when video should be released. lindsay miller goodison: it was very concerning, because obviously we want agencies to have good strong policies in place. joce: lindsay miller goodison conducted the survey for the police executive research forum. what that study offered were strong recommendations about informing victims they are being recorded, getting consent, and

public. lindsay: you're dealing with people who are in very vulnerable situations and those agencies need to think about how they're going to handle those types of situations at the outset. joce: even big agencies can be behind the curve. the nypd says is still drafting its formal body camera policy without a federal standard to base it on. and some in law enforcement claim they don't want one. jonathan thompson: every agency is different. every community is different. joce: that's why jonathan thompson, the executive director of the national sheriffs association, says each jurisdiction needs the freedom to map out their own policies with input from their own communities. he suggests concerns over victims' rights are not forgotten by law enforcement, just carefully balanced. joce: whose voice wins in this debate? jonathan: that's been a very big debate internal to the discussion. who wins? is it the victim or is it law enforcement or is it transparency?

joce: but without clear answers or standards for the use of police body cameras, a dangerous dilemma remains. jennifer: they shouldn't have to think, "oh my god, if i call 911, is it going to be filmed and am i going to end up on the internet?" public safety should never come with those kinds of questions or consequences -- ever. sharyl: we blurted the faces in the video. much of the debate hinges on ste 17 states have at least one law specific to the release of video. 17 more have attempted to pass legislation and failed.

sharyl: next week unfolding." the growing threat of superbugs, the antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are killing more americans. >> she's like, "i'm dying, do i have cancer?" and i said, "you don't have
